Fortnightly Mandarin Practice Sessions
公众课程

What level of Chinese is spoken at the Practice Sessions?

INTERMEDIATE - ADVANCED
These sessions are designed for anyone who is not a complete Beginner and who is keen to practise their spoken skills. Students are divided into groups, normally including a Chinese native speaker. At all sessions, at least two native Mandarin speakers will be present. Learners pitch in at whatever their level. The atmosphere is informal rather than intimidating and the only requirement is to speak Mandarin, whatever your level of competence.

When and where do the Practice Sessions take place?

Intermediate-advanced sessions take place EVERY OTHER WEDNESDAY EVENING from 6.30-8.30pm.
